Biggest Leap Ever - Intel GPU Update
Alright so there's been a ton of rumors about Intel’s upcoming Battlemage GPUs which should be launching actually in not that long anymore, and I will discuss battlemage in more detail a bit later in the video, but I think battlemage could be a huge turning point for Intel graphics, as not only is it expected to be a massive leap in performance, but the drivers should be significantly better than what we got with Arc.
Look, I’m sure you heard about Arc drivers being bad at launch, and believe me, they were, but today is a completely different story. In fact the Arc A770 today is a completely different class of GPU than it was when it launched.
To prove it I decided to test the A770 on its latest drivers vs the launch ones, and you are not gonna believe the difference.
And in order to do so I reached out to Intel for an Arc A770, which not only did they provide, but they actually sent over a whole test system, but I don’t really need more computers, so that’s not gonna change my opinion, in fact I’ll be giving away the Arc A770 to a random commenter on this video, and I’ll be upgrading a friends computer with the rest of the desktop.
Speaking of which, let's quickly go over the specs of my test system, so we can head into the games to get an idea of how much Arc has improved, and what this means for Battlemage.

I've had the A770 since it was released. It's been a big improvement.
-
i am so stoked for the battlemage series just cuz i love the idea of multiple companies fighting over the consumer. instead of the other way around. plus, it looks like it's gonna be epic, also... just intel ftw ngl
-
I loved how he said "I don't realy need any more Computers, so I'll be just giving it away" so calmly. He's giving away a great GPU and just mentions it in one sentence?
-
I used an A750 for most of 2023 and it was a great card, especially if you find it at $180 (unfortunately it's been mostly $210 post-Black Friday). If there was a downside, it was the moderately high power draw. I hope Battlemage cards will have a simpler design to take apart so that they'll be easier to maintain.
-
from a consumer viewpoint, its always good to see more competition
-
Really shows Intel's dedication to their Arc lineup, they may have lost some reputation with some of their customers in the past but seeing that they're showing no signs of giving up and letting the only 2 graphics giants duke it out with insanely priced cards (I'm looking at you Jensen), I'm rooting for Team Blue (I am in fact an Intel UHD user...) so they can hopefully convince AMD and Nvidia to bring down their prices too. Looking to get a PC for my birthday, and I'm getting me an Arc for sure!
-
I really hope the next series of cards do well. It's good to see another company competing and pretty well now especially on price. I'm also really interested in their frame gen tech, that also look very interesting.
-
Cool coverage on the launch vs now drivers. I'm super interested in an a770 (and even moreso in battlemage) so it's cool seeing this info. Thanks!
-
It's not even in just games. Intel Arc has gotten so much better in creative workloads such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve. They are better than 4060 and 4060 Ti in those applications. They just need to work on 3D rendering workloads now, and they will overthrow Nvidia as the de-facto mainstream creator GPUs.
-
Why on earth does every talking head say that Nvidia needs to be worried as if AMD doesn't exist? It's so funny that this keeps happening.
-
Yes, I'm stoked for this. I've been looking at the 7800 cards from AMD, as an alternative upgrade path to Nvidias cards. However my main gripe with these cards, is that they seem more like a "rehash" of older cards, with no significant jump in performance at the same price point. Hopefully Intel can stir things up with their 2nd gen Battlemage and if they prove they can keep the drivers updated, I might just give Intels cards a shot for the first time in my life.
-
The 770 turned out to be an RTX 3060 competitor, improved significantly after one yearr of drivers upgrades, hope in the next architecture they put a proper dx11 support to avoid the emulated instructions, they also need to be more consistent between all games, some dx12 games still have those intel cards underperforming
-
It's good to see Intel taking this seriously. Hopefully this will help GPU prices fall, and get some actual competition going
-
That a770 would help me so much with video editing and blender rendering! I am so excited for batttlemage!
-
Heya! Thanks for keeping us all up-to-date with the Intel GPU content. Despite the chaos of their initial launch I super hyped to hear about how they'd support their architects, engineers and most importantly their products. Thanks again for all of your work with benchmarking and discussions.
-
Thanks for showing the before and after. Impressive to see what Intel has achieved. Very cool to see a new competitor in the GPU market.
-
Can not wait to see what intel does with the new gpus and how they perform in benchmarks. Intel is def learning pretty fast . Seeing things with the ARC A770 it looks really good.
-
I’d give the arc a go, seems to be moving in the right direction. Needs more game dev support out of the gate atm
-
Have the issues with encoding and Lightroom compatibility been fixed ?
